Data Doctor Challenge of the Week: Correct simple errors in reference tags

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

Will you join our "Data Doctors" Challenge of the week?

This is an easy one to participate in, once you know how reference tags work, i.e.:

1. A footnote needs to start with <ref> and end with </ref>.
2. There needs to be a <references /> tag directly below the == Sources == headline for the footnotes to display.

Using these tags is confusing for "Newts." It's very frustrating for new members when a tag is missing or misplaced and they can't figure out why footnotes aren't appearing.

Once again, Aleš has come up with something incredibly helpful. He's prepared a report of profiles from around the tree where a reference tag appears to be misplaced.

Click here for the list.

Can you help fix them? 

If you're participating, please post here to let us know. It's nice to cheer each other on. Or post if you have any questions about how to participate.

Thanks for helping!

Thanks, Kathy! Then I'll definitely give it a try.

I corrected a few that were "orphans", but didn't see the challenge on the challenge tracker page. I guess it doesn't really matter, but I thought I'd ask. What does the "challenge" mean?

The challenge tracker will award 1 point for each suggestion fixed to your WikiTree-ID.  There is an individual winner, the person who corrects the most of the particular week's challenge.  I miss the challenge tracker on stuff all the time.  You can go to the profile, click on the second column (upper left under the profile name-x), down the list is suggestions.  Click there -- it will give you all the suggestions on the list.  Click on Status: Make sure your WikiTree-ID is in the your wikiTree ID box., mark corrected and explain why, submit.
